William Hill are offering an interesting odds combo that before the end of 2020 Hillary Clinton will be US President, and Hilary Benn will be UK Prime Minister. This is currently priced at 20/1.
Spokesperson for the bookmaker, Graham Sharpe, stated: “The intriguing possibility of the two Hil(l)arys leading their countries at the same time has suddenly become more likely as Hilary Benn takes over as favourite to succeed Jeremy Corbyn, while Hillary Clinton is already odds-on favourite to win next year’s US Presidential Election.”
With the Labour party in the UK currently in crisis following the split over the decision to bomb Syria, Hilary Benn has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Jeremy Corbyn. Current shadow foreign minister, Hilary Benn, gave a rousing speech ahead of the Syria vote on Wednesday encouraging others to vote in favour of the air strikes.
Discussing matters on a radio show John McDonnell, shadow chancellor, called the speech excellent and said that it reminded him of Tony Blair’s speech urging action in Iraq in 2003.
“I’m always anxious that the greatest orators are going to lead us to the greatest mistakes as well,” he continued.
Hilary Benn is priced at 9/4 to be the next Labour leader with Bet365, whilst Corbyn is 5/1 to leave his post in before the end of 2015.
